Introduction & Table of Contents INTRODUCTION & TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION TM Thank you for sanctioning tournaments with the DCI players organization. By running your tournaments with the DCI, you give your players the opportunity to develop ratings and rankings in the worldwide communities of their favorite games. However, perhaps even more important than access to ratings and rankings, sanctioning with the DCI says your events will follow a set of well-distributed rules and standards of play. This Tournament Organizer’s Handbook contains just about everything you’ll need to run your events—and if any changes take place to the materials included, you’ll be mailed updates. Good luck with all your upcoming events! Sincerely, DCI Staff TABLE OF CONTENTS A. RUNNING DCI EVENTS IS EASY! E.

RUNNING DCI EVENTS IS EASY! THE DCI RATES AND RANKS PLAYERS IN A NUMBER OF GAMES, INCLUDING: TM • Magic: The Gathering®•Pokémon®•Harry Potter™ Each DCI-supported game features a player-rating system that allows your tournament participants to more accu- rately compare themselves against the world community of players within that game. Given that players are being measured based on their performance against each opponent using the Elo ratings system*, the results of each match must be reported to the DCI. You’ll find your first Match Report Form and Player Information List immediately behind these instructions. Please make copies of those forms for any future events you sanction with the DCI! DCI Events—Step by Step, from Sanctioning to Reporting 1. Fill out a copy of the Tournament Sanctioning Application. • Complete the DCI Sanctioning Application that applies to the appropriate game. • Be sure to provide all the contact and event information you can, because your event will be listed in our website’s searchable upcoming events calendar. You may submit your sanctioning application to the DCI via fax at (425) 254-2987, or by mail at: DCI Tournament Sanctioning P.O. Box 1080 Renton, WA 98057 2. Shortly after sanctioning your event, you will receive: • An Event Report Summary customized by DCI staff for the event you’re scheduling; • A copy of the Tournament Organizer’s Handbook, which you should use as a reference for running DCI- sanctioned events; and • A pad of DCI Membership Application Cards for players who are new to tournaments. 3. Register Your Players • Be sure to gather each player’s name and DCI number on a copy of the Player Information List at regis- tration. EVERY PLAYER MUST HAVE A DCI NUMBER TO PARTICIPATE. Give each player who does not yet have a DCI number one of the Membership Application Cards you received. The player must fill out the contact information portion of the card and return it to you. The membership-card portion of the card stays with the player for use at future DCI-sanctioned events. Players who have lost or forgotten their DCI numbers can be looked up on an electronic list included on the DCI Tournament Organizer Handbook CD-ROM. If you cannot clearly identify the player from this list, issue the player another DCI number and send an email to [email protected] to report that you’ve issued another DCI number for that player. Be sure to include the player’s name, his or her new DCI number, and his/her birthdate, city, state, zip and country. If you will report your event on paper, please write each player’s information on the Player Information List as follows: New Member (Check) DCI # First Name Last Name Phone Number 1111111 John Random 444-333-2222 2222222 Julius Dot 555-222-2222 3333333 Joe Member 333-111-6666 SAMPLE4444444 James Guy 777-444-7777 4. Run Your Event, and Record Match Results. Your players can participate in every round of your event—regardless of how many times they win or lose— when you use the Swiss player-pairing system. See Section F.1—Swiss-Style Pairing System for an explana- tion of how you can run your events using this pairing method. A version of Swiss called Age-Modified Swiss is required at all DCI-sanctioned Pokémon tournaments. See Section F.2—Age-Modified Swiss-Style Pairing System for further information on this pairing method. If you’re keeping records of your players’ performance on paper, you’ll want to record the match results as follows on copies of the Match Reporting Form: MATCH REPORTING FORM Make as many copies of this blank form as necessary for your tournament. Enter sanctioning number, round, and page information in the space provided.

Send the Complete Event Report back to the DCI. For each event, please send the following information to the address listed above: • A complete Event Report Summary. • A full Player Information List (containing name and DCI number). • Match Reporting Forms featuring match results for each round of play. • Membership application cards filled out by each new player receiving a DCI number at your event. (The player keeps the tournament card portion of the application so he or she can continue developing the rating they started with your event.) *For more information on the DCI’s rating system, see “Elo Ratings System” in Appendix A of the DCI Universal Tournament Rules.

  • Magic: the Gathering Comprehensive Rules
    Magic: The Gathering Comprehensive Rules These rules are effective as of April 22, 2021. Introduction This document is the ultimate authority for Magic: The Gathering® competitive game play. It consists of a series of numbered rules followed by a glossary. Many of the numbered rules are divided into subrules, and each separate rule and subrule of the game has its own number. (Note that subrules skip the letters “l” and “o” due to potential confusion with the numbers “1” and “0”; subrule 704.5k is followed by 704.5m, then 704.5n, then 704.5p, for example.)

  • Gathering of Card Players and Subcultural Expression
    THE MAGIC OF COMMUNITY: GATHERING OF CARD PLAYERS AND SUBCULTURAL EXPRESSION Travis J. Limbert A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Dr. Marilyn Motz, Advisor Dr. Esther Clinton © 2012 Travis Limbert All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Marilyn Motz, Advisor When Magic: the Gathering was released in 1993, it was the first trading card game. It paved the way for the trading card game subculture and market that exists today. This thesis explores the implications of this subculture and the ways it can be thought of as an urban leisure subculture. This thesis also discusses Magic’s unique community, which has been instrumental in the game’s success over the last two decades. Magic’s community is created symbiotically, through official support by Wizards of the Coast, and the parent company Hasbro, as well as the usage and interaction by the fans and players. It is this interaction that creates a unique community for Magic, which leads to the game’s global popularity, including its tremendous growth since 2010. This thesis looks at trade publications, articles written about Magic, player responses collected through online surveys, and other works to create an extensive work on Magic and its community. This thesis focuses on how the community is important to the consumption of copyrighted cultural texts and how this creates of meaning in players’ lives. iv To my parents, James and Jona, who always encouraged me. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my thesis committee, Dr.

  • Mephiri's Character Reference Sheet
    Mephiri’s Character Reference Sheet Name: Mephiri Colors/Affinity: Red and Artifacts Species: Efreet Class: Barbarian Biological Sex: Male Sexual Orientation: Whatever anyone wishes it to be Physical Description: Mephiri usually presents himself as a bipedal horse-like skeleton wreathed in flames that is at least twelve feet tall; He is never seen without his shackles adorning his wrists and ankles, no matter what form he is currently presenting himself as In his natural form, Mephiri is nearly seven feet tall, dark-skinned with a reddish tint, and has hair the colors of a burning forest. He keeps a neat, pointy goatee, but his hair is always wild and long and free. He almost never wears clothing. Personality: Mephiri likes to trick people with false promises and “monkey’s paw” wishes, as is the way of the Efreet. He is extremely-covetous, and is incredibly- envious of the freedoms that non-Efreeti and non-Djinni people have to follow their dreams, his own wistful dreams being the only things that kept him going for so long in his prison. Speech Quirks: Mephiri speaks in riddles and rhymes, and never directly says much of anything without obfuscating it within some quirky limerick. Quote: “I could grant your deepest, darkest desires and make them flesh. I could inflict such pleasures upon your body. Simply utter the words and make those dark promises, and swear them to me as if I am the devil you are so afraid of meeting.” Plane of Origin: Rabiah the Infinite Planes Visited: Alara the Reborn, Dominaria/Dominia, Innistrad, Kamigawa, Rabiah the Infinite (his home plane), Ravnica, Shandalar, Wildfire, Zendikar Notable Mentions: The Barbarians of the Pardic Mountains – Mephiri visited Dominaria early into his Planeswalking career, curious to see what the most famous realm in the Multiverse had to offer one such as him.
